My speakers and earpiece went dead!

I literally just woke up and I thought I was deaf.

I fell asleep earlier after school and I left my phone next to my brothers laptop.

I fell asleep woke up battery was drained and I went to change batteries instead of charging.

Well I make a call and I dont hear anything at all.

I went to turn the volume all the way up and nothing.

I sat there for 10 minutes pulling my hair out.

So then I just plugged in my eyepiece and it worked .

So what do I do now?

Hard reset?

Or just take it back in to Sprint?

I have already gotten a new one back in October and Ive they get me another one thats 3 6700s since July ..

Awww crap!

What should I do?

Help me out fellow geeks!

If your earpiece or speaker "goes dead" it may just be a matter of the faulty equipment par se?

Just a tip I learned from my fellow geeks i.e. dlbrummels and Wideawake

..

Keep plugging in and unplugging your wired headset and wiggle it around a bit while it's in there.

Dont wiggle too hard , we don't want you to break anything.

Check your speaker and earpiece to see if it works =]

I hope this helps out anyone before they run out to the Sprint store =]

take it back into sprint. you will probably just get another new one. say that it just died on you. or maybe it was something you recently just installed? back up everything and do a hard rest to see if that fixes the problem

Sounds like your earphone jack is open, insert your headset a few times perhaps it will close.

yeap sounds like ur headset jack. plug it in and out a few times. I expirenced this once and vowed not to use the headset jack again because of this. u can manually backup ur PIM (contacts etc...) they are stored in the root of the device in the file pim.vol if need be but playing with the jack should get u back to working.
